Check the seal
Where to start
Start with a brand’s official store directory or a clearly identified official concession. A familiar-looking sign is not enough to establish authorization.
Before you pay
- Check seals, licensing information, age guidance and the exact series.
- For blind boxes, read what is random and what is guaranteed. Do not assume a full set or a particular character.
- Ask for the receipt and return terms before opening. Keep purchases within your planned budget.
When to walk away
Skip unverified “rare edition” offers and promises of resale profit. Do not assume every boxed collectible is suitable for young children.
Getting it home
Decide whether the packaging matters to you. Keep packaging intact if you plan to apply for a departure VAT refund.
